Daniel Spiro is a thinking man. A senior trial counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice, he helped to found both the Jewish Islamic Dialogue Society and the Spinoza Society in Washington. He is now writing his third book, a non-fiction book about God. “Though some people would say it’s impossible to write a book about God without it being fiction, I’m going to try my best,” he says. Spiro attended Stanford University and Harvard Law School before returning to his native Bethesda, where he lives with his wife and two daughters. He spoke to The Washington Examiner about the philosophical life and his outlets for living it.
